Gemini's Conversation Retrieval Feature Appears to Be Disabled

According to user feedback on the Linux.do forum, Google Gemini’s conversation retrieval feature previously allowed referencing information from past conversations in new chats. The system would cite the source in its responses and display the ‘conversation_retrieval’ tool. However, recent tests indicate that this feature can no longer be triggered in fast, thinking, or pro modes. Users can only access long-term memory summaries and cannot retrieve specific conversation content. This suggests that Gemini may have removed or modified this feature, potentially impacting users’ ability to search for information across conversations and raising concerns about adjustments to the AI model’s capabilities.
